Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bronchiolitis is a common respiratory tract infection affecting infants and young children, characterized by inflammation of the bronchioles. It is most commonly caused by the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). Infants with congenital heart failure, infants with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), and children with cystic fibrosis are at a higher risk of developing severe bronchiolitis, which can lead to respiratory failure due to their underlying conditions that affect the lungs or heart. However, pneumonia, which is an infection of the lung parenchyma, is not directly associated with bronchiolitis or its progression to respiratory failure. Pneumonia and bronchiolitis are distinct conditions, although both affect the respiratory system.
